Luke 7 (BSJ) · Opened

1bwiko Yeecu dim dikero gwam ca yi nobo tiye cin do ken kafarnaumWhen Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2fiya cuwo nii kwene durko nuwa diker dor Yeecu ri, contwom nobo dur yahudawa ro, a ken co na bou na twam canga ceuThere a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3la cin bou Yeecu nin cin ken co yi co ti ki “nii wo lam wo ma macinen wo tiyeWhen the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4wori ci cwi bitene nye ti co ca munyinen bi kur kwamaro urcalimauThey came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5nyori Yeecu bwan cinen ten. la fiya cuwo ci dadom kange kuweri, nii kwene durko twom farub cebo a yi co, teluwe kwom de dor mwero, wori ma labo wo mwabouti lomiyeufor he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6nyori ma tubo dor miro na nii wo lami mwa bouti cinen, tok ka ker koni, canga mi an kwam.So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7mo keneu, mi nii woki bi kwang kere dor nob kwenebo kang mikeu, nyi wo mi yari, co ya kange mi bouri, co bou, canga miu no ca ma wori can maniThat is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8la Yeecu nuwa wori, co nyiman nii wo, con yila nobo bwan cinententiye, con yii ci, “miyi komti, mor kiraila gwam, ma fiyobo nii ki bilen ke na weu.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9fiya cuwo nobo ca twome a yilaure loweri, ci fiya canga wo twamWhen Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10kutanbo bwiko cuworiAnd when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Yeecu yaken cinar loro kange ci cuwoti ki Naim, nob tomange cebo fiya nob ducce woya kange ceuSoon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12la ci bi dom kangenyilo cinar loreu di, cin ki nii kange wo bwiyam meu, cobwe wiin nece nin wuro nawiye kwale nubo ducce cinar loron wo kange co.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Yeecu to cori, cin bunang co cin yii co, “ciire wiye”When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14la conyaa con tei kwanni wo ci tuu bilen do cika nobo tum ki bilen nen tim cok con yico, bwe, mi kwenu”Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15bilen do kwenum, nyoten tok ka kereko, Yeecu neken co nece ninAnd the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16la tai to tam ci gwam, cin yoten ci caklang kwama ti,” nii tomange kwama dur kwennu more nye kwama to nobo loceuA sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17fulen kere wo dor Yeecu yalti bi ten yahudiya gwam kange buro bi dom kange ceuAnd the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18bibei tomange yuwana yi co dike buro gwamThen John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19la yuwana cuwo bi bei tomange ce yob, tom ciYeecu nin ciya me co” mo nii bou tiye kakaa nyo nintang kane?So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20cin bo bidom Yeecu nin di cin toki, “yuwana nii yuu mwem tiye tom nyo munen ki nyi me, “mo wo bou tiye kakaa nyi nintang kange?”When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21tabbo cin twabangum nubo ki twira kange wo ki yuwa kelkeleb beu, nobon fukmau, cin neci toka fiye.”At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22la Yeecu ciya cinen ki, kom ya ko yi yuwana, dike nuwa kime towe kange dike ka nuwa fukma tofiyeti kilendo ya yamti, walebbo cin twam, nubo mani nuwa tiye ti nuwai, nobo bwiyame kwennum, fuwabbo nuwa fulen keretSo He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23nii wo ne bilen keret dikero mi matiyeri nii bibwiyer,Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24bwiko bi bei tomange yuwana cuwe, Yeecu yici kerdor yuwana,”ye ka crr yera ka totiye? yerayuwana moktiye kaAfter John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25ye ka cer yera ka owe? nii ki kulendo twaba nyeu to, nubo ki kulenkyemereu, ci nuwa lima ti loni liyabeOtherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26ye ka ya yera ka towe? nii tomange kwama ong mi yi komti la nii tomangeWhat then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27wuro co nii ci mulangi cer ki “to mi tom mweu ni tomange ti kaa mo wo a ywelmwen nuretiyeThis is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28mi yi komti mor nubo natub bowe, mani na yuwana, nyori nii wo na bi duware mor liyar kwama reu lacoI tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29la nubo gwam, ki nob yuwana kyemerek nuwa nyori, cin ciya kwama nii wucake, wori cin yuu cinenen mwembo ki yuu mwemer yuwanaAll the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30la fariciyawa kange nubo nyimom werfundeu cin dike kwama yo keb dor circu, nyori ci yuu cinen bo mwem yuwanam bo tiye? cinan ye?But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31“kange ye ma mwer nubo kaldo wo canne tiye? cinanye?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32cina bi bei malorti fiye miyeka dikereu, wo yim yiye la cuwo kange yi co ki,”min cuu lira mwa yelbo yila, min ka nuwe bware, mwa cibo wiyeThey are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33nyo yuwana nii yuu mwem tiye bou mani cati, mani noti, ki wi ki ninga “For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34bi bwe nifire bou, ti cai ti noi ri, kom ki kucunu kange nii no nyom tiye, farnob yuwana kyeme kange nii ki bwiran kere,The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35nyore yuleng bi beyo loce ki warkeBut wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36na wori, wiin mor fariciyawa cuwo Yeecu na ci ca cari wari la bwiko Yeecu doken lon fariciyawari, cin yiken fiye caka carik, na cincam cartori,Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37nawiye kange wii cinar lor wo nii bwiran ke kambo cin nyimom Yeecu doken loh bwe fariciyawa ca kacarik di, cin bou ki nuwan alabata, kundo limi yeuWhen a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38contibidom kange Yeecu fiye na ceko wiye co ci wiyeti, con yoten yibong na Yeecu ko ti ki mwem num cem, belti nuwang na cekAs she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39la fariciyawa wo cuwo Yeecu, to nyori, co ti kwabi ner cer ki, na nii wo bwe tomange ri no cikin nyimom we nawiye tiye nii bwiran ke'When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Yeecu yi co cmon min wi dike ma yi nen tiye, ciki toki nii merankaBut Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Yeecu ki nii neka cennek ne nubo yob cend, wiindinari kwini kwob nung, wiineu nung“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42la cin fwe ki yakako, cin dobcinen gwam nyori we more ciye co cwiti wo ducce?When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43ciman ciya ki, “mi kwatiri nii wo co dob cin kyemero ducceu. Yeecu yico co ki munwarker dong-dong“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Yeecu yila nawiye wonin yi ciman, mun to nuwiye wamin do lomo, mwe ne yebo mwem nirka nam, na wiye wo yibong namiko mwem num ceu, con ki yiri coAnd turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45mwa ma membo ka cikko ma dou feu na wiye wo dobbo beitika na mikoYou did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46mwa beltimen bo nuwandor, nawiye belti menti nuwan dorYou did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47nyori mi yinenti bwiran kece ducceu cutan wi, wori con nan cwikaducce nii wo cicutan bwiran kece bi duware ri, cwika ceko bi duwarTherefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48la con,” yi co, bwiran kemwe cin cutang wiThen Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49nubo ci yim wariyeu yotan tokkan kerek butici, we woro cutan bwiran ke tiyeBut those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Yeecu yi nawiye wo, bilenke mwe coknen, ya ki nero fworAnd Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
